St Giles' tower from SE [2880] 1939-02-23
Dominating St Giles' Plain, as the western end of Bethel
St is known, is the magnificent tower of St Giles'
church. Battlemented and crowned with a small wooden
bell-cot, it is quite the tallest of the city's church
towers, for it is over 112 feet high, and the ground on
which it stands is some 85 feet above sea level. In 1549
it was selected as a suitable site for a cresset or fire
beacon (the old wrought-iron basket is still carefully
preserved in the church). In more recent times its
favourable position rendered it convenient for semaphore
signalling practice by soldiers from Britannia Barracks. |

The present chancel is modern, built in 1866. The

money received from the sale of the old materials. |

St Giles' south porch [1858] 1937-08-07
The porch is very fine and compares favourably with any
other in Norwich. It is of two storeys, with fan tracery
vaulting. The front, supported by diagonal buttresses, is
of freestone, and the parapet and cornice are enriched
with carving reproducing a series of crowns above the
ancient form of the letter "G". |

St Giles' bells in churchyard after tuning [B239]
1932-04-00
St Giles' is particularly noted for its peal of eight
bells, which I was able to photograph when they were
lying in the churchyard in April 1932, before being
rehung. They had been taken down for retuning when the
bell frame was rebuilt; the original beams having been
ravaged by the deathwatch beetle. It was indeed fortunate
that they did not come crashing to the ground when an
earth tremor shook the region a year earlier.
According to John L'Estrange, the three largest bells
were the original peal put up shortly after the tower was
built; they were cast by Richard Baxter, who lived in
Norwich about 1410-20. The fourth bell was by William
Brend, whose foundry was on All Saints' Green. The fifth
was one of Richard Brasyer's of Norwich; the sixth has no
inscription but was added about 1690, while the two
trebles were added by subscription in 1738 and were cast
by Thomas Newman of Norwich. |

St Giles' interior view east [1856] 1937-08-07
Inside the church are a number of monuments, many dating
from the 18c, but of particular interest is a brass to
Robert Baxter, Sheriff of Norwich in 1418, and his wife.
It was etched and published by John Sell Cotman in his
book The Sepulchral Brasses of Norfolk and Suffolk.
Among the mural monuments are two to the Churchman
family, who lived in the nearby mansion which bears their
name. |

St Giles' St 99 to 103 [2780] 1938-09-02
Upper St Giles' St has been a cul-de-sac since Grapes
Hill was widened and its gradient reduced as part of the
Inner Link road scheme. This entailed the demolition of
buildings on either side of that end of the street: on
the south, the St Giles' Gate public house, together with
Onley's the tobacconist's and Sandford's the butchers,
all old-established business, were destroyed, and on the
north Nos 99-103, a solid-looking block evidently built
not many years after the pulling down of St Giles' Gate,
was demolished. The grey brick facade of this group of
houses was characteristic of the Regency period, with
four pilasters rising from simple bases at first-floor
level to support a broad entablature with a heavy
overhanging cornice. There was a chemist's shop for many
years at No 103, occupied in the late 19c by Joseph
English, who was succeeded latterly by Charles Hipperson,
R Margetts, and finally Basil Veness. At No 101 a
grocer's and fruiterer's had an equally long occupancy,
owned in the 19c by William Goggs and latterly by the
Davison Brothers. At No 99 in the 1930s was the drapery
shop of Mrs Blanche Nunn; it later became a hairdresser's
and then an electrical and radio showroom.
Before c1900, number 99 St Giles' St was called numbers
14 and 15 Upper St Giles' St. Number 101 St Giles' St was
called number 16 Upper St Giles' St.

St Giles' St 12 Low's Yard east side [0340]
1934-12-14
Perhaps the saddest loss when the City Hall was built was
the demolition of No 12, a fine early Georgian mansion
(c1775) seen only on entering Low's Yard - a yard which
derived its name from the occupant of the mansion over
many years, Frederick Low, a veterinary surgeon. During
the 1920s the Norwich Education Committee also had its
offices here. Now the City Hall tower stands near the
site, but the central doorway of No 12 was saved and may
now be seen, shorn of its side windows, in the courtyard
of the Bridewell museum. |

St Giles' St 68 Churchman House N facade [4448]
1956-06-13
Churchman House had a number of notable occupants. The
original house seems to have been built some time before
1724 by Alderman Thomas Churchman, a prosperous worsted
weaver. Corbridge's map of Norwich, published in 1727,
has around its margin a series of drawings depicting some
of the city's more important buildings, including the
house of "Mr Tho. Churchman". Of more modest
dimensions than the existing house, the original building
would appear to have been enlarged by his son, also
Thomas, around the middle of the 18c. It was in 1751 that
he was permitted by the City Committee to extend the
front of his house westwards; in doing so he retained
part of the original building as the kitchen wing at the
rear.
Alderman Churchman (the father) had died 6th April 1742
aged 72, as the monument in St Giles' church by the
London sculptor Sir Henry Cheere records. His son lived
to be 79, dying 4th December 1781, also buried in St
Giles' church. One of the high spots in his life must
have been in 1761 when, as Mayor of Norwich, he presented
personally the citizens' address of congratulation to
King George III on the occasion of his marriage. For this
he was knighted.
Subsequent occupants were: Alderman John Addey,
linen-draper in St Andrew's in 1761. Sheriff 1766. Mayor
1773. Died 20th August 1797 aged 72. Monument in St Peter
Mancroft Church.
Edmund Hooke, barrister-at-Law. Also owned property at
Mulbarton. Died 13th December 1811 aged 61. Buried at
Mulbarton.
Naomi Hooke, Edmund's widow. Subsequently married to John
Story. Died in Bagneres de Bigorre, Hautes Pyrenees,
France on 12th August 1830 aged 53. Buried at Mulbarton
with her first husband.
Samuel Clayton and his son, the Rev. William Ray Clayton,
during whose time here (c1830) the drawing room
overlooking the garden was enlarged.
Sir William Foster, Bart, lived here from about 1860
until his death in 1874. He was the senior partner in the
19c firm of solicitors, Foster, Unthank, Burroughs and
Robberds, the site of whose offices is now covered by
what used to be the Royal Hotel.
After Sir William's death the Norwich High School for
Girls first opened its doors here on 22nd February 1875,
under the supervision of head mistress Miss Ada Benson,
whose brother later became Archbishop of Canterbury.
Two years later the school moved to the Assembly House,
after which the property was purchased by Sir Peter (then
Doctor) Eade. An honorary consultant physician to the
Norfolk and Norwich Hospital, he became an Alderman of
the city and member of the Board of Guardians, being made
Sheriff in 1880-81 and Mayor in 1883, 1893 and 1895. He
received a knighthood in 1885 from Queen Victoria in
recognition of his public services. A member of the
committee of the Norfolk and Norwich Archaeological
Society, he published several important works on local
matters, the chief, perhaps, being his History of the
Parish of St Giles, Norwich, which ran to two editions,
and a History of the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital. He
died 12th August 1915 aged 90, and his wife Ellen on 6th
June 1916.
The house then remained empty until purchased in 1919 by
Norwich Corporation, who opened it two years later as the
headquarters of the city's health department. In the late
1980s it underwent extensive restoration and conversion
into offices for the city's registrar of births,
marriages and deaths. |

Detailed accounts of the building and its occupants will
be found in the pages of Norfolk Archaeology, and
it is sufficient here to mention just one or two of its
main features. The former library, lit by two windows,
lies to the right of the hall upon entering from the
street. Here a doubly-enriched plaster cornice around the
ceiling, and in the centre of the wall facing the windows
is an elaborate stone mantelpiece described as follows: A
band of marble veined in yellow and black outlines the
inner edge; on either side long pendant bunches of grapes
are carved in bold relief, while the frieze, divided into
three panels, has rural scenes. On the left a boy riding
a horse, a sheep in the foreground; in the centre panel a
boy setting a trap for birds, with a second boy holding a
cage in readiness; and on the right, two boys in a rowing
boat with ducks in the foreground. These scenes are
partly in high and partly low relief. |

The one-time dining room to the left of the hall is lit
by three windows, although the lower half of one was
converted into a doorway before the Second World War.
This is the special room of the house, handsomely
decorated in the Rococo style. On its walls plaster
mouldings form elaborate frames around five inlaid
pictures and two pier glasses. The ceiling is similarly
decorated; the centre having a picture in raised plaster,
once coloured but now whitened over. |

The dining-room mantelpiece is a fine one of white and
reddish-brown marble. A panel in the centre of its frieze
depicts boys shearing a sheep, while on either side is a
large raised figure of a goat. It is believed to be the
work of Sir Henry Cheere, the 18c London sculptor, who
was also responsible for the monument to Thomas Churchman
senior in the church opposite. Mantelpieces differing
only in their lesser details from this one and no doubt
by the same sculptor are in the library at Langley Hall
near Loddon and at Roche Castle in Dyfed, South Wales. |

Of the pictures, two appear to be landscapes; the largest
one is an historical scene. Those flanking the
chimneypiece however, are mythological. The left-hand one
(Venus and Cupid with doves and a faun) has been
attributed to the artist Giovanni Antonio Pellegrini, who
was working at Narford Hall, near Swaffham, about 1710. |

No 70 was a fine large house, much older than appeared at
first sight. During the latter part of the Georgian
period it had been "modernised" by covering its
timber framework with plaster and replacing the casement
windows with sashes. Its street doorway also dated from
this period and was rather unusual for Norwich in that it
possessed twin pillars on either side of the entrance.
These supported a plain entablature, the top of which
rested just beneath the first floor jetty. The pillars
were hollow wooden cylinders of not more than
three-quarters of an inch in thickness. After the raid
the wall of the ground floor was revealed to be of
knapped flints, a favourite local material in mediaeval
times.
Sir Peter Eade (who lived next door at Churchman House)
described in his history, published in 1886, a cellar
here that extended beneath parts of the hall, dining room
and kitchen. It had thick walls and was divided into two
compartments, eight feet high, with groined arches placed
endways to the street.
One of the most notable of its residents was Sir Frederic
Bateman, who died here in 1904 aged 80. In 1864 he
commenced practice as a physician, being then elected
Physician to the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital. He was
also visiting Physician to the Bethel Hospital; he was
engaged in writing the history of that institution at the
time of his death. He was Sheriff of Norwich in 1872-3
and knighted in 1892.
After the war the site of No 70 was left vacant, but a
Gospel Hall was built in the garden at the rear. At No 72
Messrs Walter Kett rebuilt a single storey showroom, but
this was acquired at the end of the 1960s so that a new
road could be constructed linking St Giles' and Bethel St
with the Grapes Hill, Chapel Field Rd junction of the
Inner Link road. |

St Giles' St 72 [1349] 1936-08-30
In the raid of 27th June 1942, buildings at Nos 70 and 72
St Giles' St were destroyed by fire. No 72, a Tudor house
with a quaint array of gables whose roofing consisted of
a patchwork of pantiles and old English pintiles, had its
ground floor completely modernised at the beginning of
the 20c by the use of steel girders and pillars. It was
thus converted into a furniture showroom with large plate
glass windows to give a completely uninterrupted view
from the street. A photograph of Upper St Giles' St
showing the house in its original state appeared in Sir
Peter Eade's history of the parish; it was then occupied
by Mrs Nash, a stationer. |
